Let’s be real: your skin deserves better than mystery ingredients, goat milk serums, or animal byproducts dressed up as luxury. If your skincare routine still reads like a farmer’s market lineup—collagen, honey, snail slime—it might be time for a glow-up. A vegan one.
Enter: Grimoire NYC. The queer-owned, New York-based skincare brand that proves plant-based formulas aren’t just for green juice shots. Grimoire’s lineup of four multitasking science-backed products is totally vegan, totally effective, and totally made for people who care what goes on their face—and where it came from.
Here’s why you should ditch the animal byproducts, simplify your shelf, and make the switch to vegan skincare.
1. Your face is not a science experiment
You wouldn’t rub chicken fat on your cheekbones (we hope), but a lot of non-vegan skincare ingredients are basically that—animal byproducts repackaged with fancy names. Vegan skincare skips all that weirdness and gets straight to the good stuff: plant-powered, skin-loving ingredients that actually work.
Grimoire’s formulas are built around botanical actives and nutrient-rich micro super greens, so you’re feeding your face without compromising your values.
2. Powered by plants, backed by science
Let’s talk ingredients. Grimoire’s vegan lineup doesn’t just check the “cruelty-free” box—it’s loaded with powerhouse botanicals that soothe, hydrate, and revive your skin whether you’re sleep-deprived, sunburnt, or just over it.
Eye Roll Eye Serum
Late night? Early flight? Existential dread? Eye Roll wakes up tired eyes with caffeine powder, microgreens, and acetyl hexapeptide-1. It’s cooling, brightening, and makes you look like you’ve slept—without actually having to.
Beach Guise Face Serum
For post-sun, post-party, or post-”I forgot sunscreen” recovery, Beach Guise is your rescue serum. With gotu kola and plant-based bisabolol, it soothes red, stressed-out skin without clogging your pores.
Vanity Monday Face Serum
Your Monday face doesn’t have to scream “I went too hard this weekend.” Vanity Monday revives dull, tired skin with sea buckthorn, wild indigo, and (you guessed it) more of those energizing microgreens.
Nightmare Away Face Cream
This thick-but-breathable face cream locks in moisture with shea butter and lavender extract, while helping your skin bounce back from dryness, breakouts, and everything else that happens when you “forget” your routine for a few nights.
3. It’s skincare with a conscious
Going vegan isn’t just good for the planet—it’s good for your face. Animal-derived ingredients can be heavy, outdated, and irritating. Grimoire skips the filler and goes straight for the glow.
And because all four products are vegan and formulated for sensitive skin, you don’t have to overthink it. No guessing games. No long-winded ingredient lists that require a PhD. Just clean, clear skincare that delivers.
4. They actually work (and look good doing it)
Grimoire doesn’t do fluff. The products are high-performance, travel-friendly, and designed to work together—whether you’re getting ready for a first date, a work Zoom, or a spontaneous trip to Provincetown.
And the packaging? Chic. Sleek. TSA-approved. These aren’t products you hide in a drawer. They’re the kind you leave out—because they look good and make you feel even better.
5. You deserve things that align with your values (and your lifestyle)
Vegan skincare isn’t just for people who live off oat milk and yoga—it’s for anyone who wants clean, cruelty-free, queer-owned products that show up the way you do: real, smart, and—honestly—kind of hot.
Grimoire is skincare for real life—messy nights, late mornings, and the skin freakouts in between. Whether you’re chasing the sun or the next skincare trend, this is one bandwagon actually worth jumping on. You deserve it. Your skin deserves it. The goats, snails, and sheep thank you in advance.
